so yesterday this showed up quoting alex... "In a nutshell, the Liquid Carbon is a fully-discrete, fully-balanced, transportable solid-state headphone amplifier that is capable of driving all but the most demanding of headphones - delivering satisfying levels and offering superb driver control for exceptional detail and linearity." lets run that thru fact check for a second. yep... "Liar Liar Pants on Fire" fully balanced? nope, not in the way that any truly differential amplifier would be. (like any of the super symmetry variants) and absolutely no common mode rejection. fully-discrete? nope not really, see the single ended to balanced converter in the schematic below http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/lc.pdf so much fail in one package... can the stax mafia do better, you betcha. board in progress now, will run up to +/-24V and bolt to a heatsink. So say a liquid gold clone for about $300 in parts. people, why do you buy poorly built crap like this. Buy Schiit, or Audio-GD or many other high quality brands for a lot less money.

I got bored being too far ahead on Azure Coast in Project Cars and decided to turn around and ram Grahame, which got me DQed. But it did let me catch this shot of Brent stealing a road sign:

I have both the LC and GS-1 on loan from another member here. This is my reply to him when comparing the two amp... "The GS-1 is the better sounding amp. Tone and staging are both appreciably better than the LC. GS-1 is "smoother" and more refined across the spectrum. Mids, on the GS-1 are exceptionally good. The LC is slightly U shaped in presentation. While this is fine with a headphone like the hd650 it's not fine with the hd800. I don't see myself using the LC much with the hd800. I really like how the GS-1 is voiced."

Damn... As I'm sure you can tell from my Avatar, I am a huge talking heads fan. I love P-Funk too. RIP Bernie.

uh... ...nope! Your game is fine.

Good "flying spaghetti monster" , that's weird! I've got to up my game .

Thanks Dan, I could try that. Also, I guess I should say that I am not interested in getting any money for these but don't want to do too much work to get rid of them. Certainly Goodwill is easy but there may be something that is more worthwhile. I guess I could also try MD Anderson Cancer Center and a bunch of the other hospitals across the street.

This is pretty amazing.

There is an ability to do community projects in Fusion 360, which I think is really cool. For anyone wanting to mill foam, there are some precautions. I had an issue with my initial tests when milling to close to the edge. It grabbed a piece of foam and pulled it onto the bit. Not good. I used the duct tape on the one side to give it some stability near that edge. Like everything in milling, make sure your work piece is secured well. Also, for clean final cuts you need to use conventional milling vs. climb milling. This is opposite for aluminum.

Thanks. You need to get Fusion 360 and learn how to use it It's from Autodesk and is free to individuals and small businesses. It took me about 3 hours to model these.

So I wanted to replace the foam in my 007 Mk1 headphones. I modeled them in up (I love having a mill ) and here's what I got...
